Discover how much it costs to install solar panels on an independent house in India. Detailed breakdown of system size, equipment, subsidies, and payback for 2025.

1. What Determines the Cost of Residential Solar?

Several factors affect how much you’ll pay to install solar on your independent house:

System size (kW): More capacity = higher cost.
Type of panels: Monocrystalline, polycrystalline, or bifacial.
Inverter quality: String inverters are cheaper; micro or hybrid inverters cost more.
Mounting structure & roof type: Flat RCC roofs, sloped roofs, tin roofs — all differ in cost.
Wiring, earthing & protection devices.
Labour & installation charges.
Optional battery: For off-grid or backup systems.
Government Subsidies & Net Metering: Very important for cost savings.

2. Typical Solar Installation Costs for Houses in India (2025)

Based on current market data (2025):

System Size	Estimated Cost (On-Grid)
1 kW	~ ₹60,000 – ₹70,000
3 kW	~ ₹1.8 – ₹2.3 lakh
5 kW	~ ₹3.0 – ₹3.8 lakh
10 kW	~ ₹6.0 – ₹7.5 lakh

3. How Much Can You Save with a Subsidy

Under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana and related residential schemes, subsidies significantly reduce the cost.
For example, for a 5 kW system, after subsidy, the effective cost can come down depending on regional policies.
Note: Subsidy is typically for systems up to a certain kW (varies by scheme and state).

4. Cost Breakdown: What You’re Paying For

Here’s how the total cost usually breaks down:

Solar Panels:
- Polycrystalline: ~ ₹22–₹28 per watt
- Mono PERC: ~ ₹28–₹35 per watt
- Bifacial: ~ ₹35–₹45 per watt
Inverter: Can range from ₹15,000 to ₹60,000+ *, depending on system size and type. De
Mounting & Wiring: Costs depend on roof type and complexity. HOUSEYOG
Labour & Installation: Important to factor in — it's not just the hardware cost.
Battery (optional): If you choose a hybrid/off-grid system, a battery adds significant cost.

5. Sample Equipment to Use

Some typical solar components you might choose (to estimate costs):

Loom Solar 550 W Bifacial Module — High-efficiency bifacial panel.
Luminous 325 W Polycrystalline Panel — Balanced cost-performance option.
Adani 565 Wp TOP
Con Panel — Advanced, efficient panel.
Panasonic 550 W Mono‑PERC Panel — High reliability + good efficiency.

These are just examples, and the actual installation cost will depend on how many panels you need, inverter size, and other system components.

6. Payback Period & Savings

With net metering, the electricity you generate can offset your monthly bill.
Depending on your usage, system size, and tariffs, many homeowners recover the installation cost in 4–7 years.
After payback, you get “free” electricity (minus minimal running /maintenance cost).

7. Tips to Reduce Your Solar Cost

Choose MNRE / DISCOM-empanelled solar vendors — ensures good quality + support.
Opt for monocrystalline or bifacial panels if you have limited roof space.
Apply for government subsidies — it can significantly reduce the upfront cost.
Use net metering to maximise savings by exporting excess power.
Consider financing options / solar loans to spread your investment.
